The Landmark Trust welcomes you to Cawsey House, Great Torrington, Devon.
Cawsey House is an elegant late-Stuart townhouse that once belonged to a wealthy merchant who commissioned one of Devon’s most accomplished plasterers to embellish its main rooms. Come and marvel at the elaborately decorated ceilings and learn more about this amazing property.
Information on the history and restoration will be available and an activity sheet for children.
Families are welcome and we encourage picnics in the grounds if the weather is fine. Dogs are welcome at these Open Days.

Donating to Landmark
As a charity, the Landmark Trust relies on donations to support our work. We couldn’t have rescued over 200 Landmarks without the support of people like you.
Your support saves historic buildings in danger of being lost forever and makes them available for all to experience and enjoy.
Your donation could help train the craftspeople needed to restore buildings like this, or it could offer opportunities to young people to experience history first-hand, through our open days and free stays for study groups.
